Aamir Khan’s film ‘Dangal’ deserves ‘treatment’: BJP leader

Indore (PTI): Super star Aamir Khan’s ‘intolerance’ remarks continue to haunt him with a senior BJP leader today suggesting “treatment” to his upcoming movie Dangal in the same way that was done to Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Dilwale’, whose business was marred by protests from Hindutva groups.

BJP general secretary Kaliash Vijayvargiya hinted at teaching a lesson to Aamir by saying at a public function that “treatment to one has been done. Now it is time for the other to be treated. ‘Dangal me mangal karna hai’. You should keep this in mind.

“When anybody says that intolerance is rising in our society, then it makes me a little angry. Then he has to be treated. His treatment is very necessary.”

Though he did not name either Shahrukh or Dilwale, his reference seemed to be aimed at him as his last movie was marred by protests at several places. Khan, too, had earlier spoken about rising intolerance in Indian, prompting the BJP leader to brand him a “traitor”, a remark he withdrew later facing public backlash.

Vijayvargiya’s remarks came a day after another party general secretary, Ram Madhav, had denounced Aamir Khan’s comments on ‘intolerance’, saying he should not preach about the country’s prestige only to an auto-rickshaw driver but also his wife.

Lol! This goes on to show that intolerance is ONLY rising despite Yumreeki Murudeshwara Rampai doing 2 & a 1/2 reverse somersaults to show otherwise.

So a man cannot speak whats on his mind, eh? Since when did India become some Afghanistan or some fascist state?

Oh! That’s easy to answer. I guess the seed was planted sometime on 26th May 2014 and today marks exactly the 600th day! And boy! That tiny seed has grown into a giant Sequoia!

People get lynched JUST because some blest sadhu-sanyasi (or otherwise) holier-than-thou Dhogla Chaddi in Rampai’s ‘Sanaatana Bharatha’ (God alone what that is supposed to mean ya Murudu Rampai) MERELY suspects that somebody has a Cow mooing in his fridge and his BBQ grill is ‘warming up’.

People get beaten up by some mindless & jobless mindless Chaddi goons JUST they THINK that somebody possesses beef.

Some Paki is granted Indian citizenship and sings praises saying India is ‘tolerant’. Some Bengali says the same. Our Murudu Rampa is convinced. He bleats the SAME.

The hullaballoo which followed Aamir khan statement on the eve of an award function exposes the vested upper caste long due grudge against the Minority community. If we scrutinize the comments made against Aamar, majority are upper caste Hindus who want non Hindus to adopt their line otherwise any opposition to them will cost in terms of sullying image, prestige and ultimately threatening eviction from the country. Aamir just spoke what number of intellectual, writers, actors and scientist has been saying since the new Government took power at the Centre. Instead of reaching out to them, they brand them anti national and anti Government.

What is noteworthy is that during the process of returning awards right from President Pranab Mukherjee to industrialists Narayan Murthy, Kiran Majumdar Shaw and RBI governor Raghuram Rajan all stated that there is a growing atmosphere of intolerance. Interestingly only Muslim icons were chosen for the intense attacks, doubting their patriotism! Those non Muslims were dubbed as being motivated by political reasons. None dared take on Presidents’ observations. So what does this indicate? Aamir Khan correctly pointed out that response to his statement does finally prove that there is growing intolerance, if at all there was some doubt about it. The differential response to Muslims statements and similar statements made by non Muslims gives the game away and tells us the type of mindset the RSS affiliates; the followers of Hindu nationalism and their followers have.

One recalls that in the wake of acts of terror like Mecca Masjid, Malegaon, Ajmer and Samjhauta Express; number of Muslim youth was being arrested recklessly. After Hemant Karakare’s investigation showed that it was the Hindutva groups with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Lt Col Purohit, Major Upadhayay and Swami Aseemanand; who have role in those acts of blast; the arrest of Muslim youth got a respite. This is what currently Naseeruddin Shah said that lately he is being made aware of his Muslim identity. And on similar vein Julio Rebeiro said that ‘as a Christian suddenly I am a stranger in my own country’.

Let the country accommodate all the views, let it remain a democratic country and do not allow this country to become totalitarian state.Needless to say we do need a course correction and those following the politics in the name of religion need to be countered to preserve our democratic-plural values.

With the growing ‘intolerance’ being Muslim critics Mumbai Police has downgraded security cover for superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan and scrapped it for some others following an audit on threat perceptions. Whereas government still able bear the bills proving Z plus security for Ramdev and Sangeet som whose survival are critical for its own existence.

Now the BJP general secretary and one of the old stalwart from BJP is issuing statements.While our PM Modi globetrotting like Christopher Columbus in urge has taken voyage to find the globe is round.
